I am trying to figure out how to mount 3 msdos partitions and make
them read/write. I have put the following in my fstab file:
/dev/hdb2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /dosc msdos mask=777 1 1
/dev/hda5 /dosd msdos mask=777 1 1
/dev/hdb5 /dose msdos mask=777 1 1
none /proc proc defaults 1 1
and, although it write enables them, I get the following message on
startup:
remounting root device read-write enable
mount: /dev/hda1 Not a mount point
mount: /dev/hda5 Not a mount point
mount: /dev/hdb5 Not a mount point
The other problem then is accessing files copied to those drives
from msdos. I try the cp command and the files show up under linux,
but not under msdos. I tried the mcopy but get a duplicate file
message.
If this is not the correct newgroup to post this to, please point me
in the right direction.
Help on either would be appreciated.
Thanks
